Corner Of Mount And Quay Streets St Peters Square
Manchester, England

Adrift is a notable sculpture created by the esteemed sculptor John Cassidy, completed in 1907 and originally exhibited at the New Gallery in London. Over the years, it has undergone several relocations, with its most recent installation at the northwest corner of St. Peter's Square in Manchester, where it faces the city's war memorial.

The sculpture has experienced a tumultuous history, including periods of storage and restoration, yet it remains a significant piece of public art in Manchester. Adrift is celebrated for its finely proportioned classical undertones, reflecting Cassidy's artistic legacy amidst the evolving urban landscape.
